I'm a fan of the McGard Spline drives. The fit on almost every wheel, very light, and they have a ball bearing seat. The seat rotates independently of the rest of the nut. So they don't spin and grind against your wheels, helps them to seat better. My wheels require little to no retorquing with my spline drives.

For the Pep Boys contingent, I got the Gorrila Lug Nuts BUT at about $35, you get what you pay for. The nuts got scratched as I was installing them with the included lock adapter.
